A really good event. Well worth the visit. I think that if I manage to go to Edinburgh for next year’s festival I’ll have to try to get along to more stuff.

A visit to Turing Fest
I really wanted to get along to something at Turing Fest this year and as I was in Edinburgh I was able to. It was a bit of a stretch though as I was leaving on the day that Turing Fest started. Anyway, I got along for a session on the first day. The session was about aligning the interests of investors and entrepreneurs. Whilst it was largely based around the Edinburgh start up scene I learnt a lot about the venture capital process itself and how VCs and angel investors look at start ups.
I wish I could have stuck around for more of the sessions, but that wasn’t possible sadly. Maybe next year.
Edinburgh: Mr Wood’s Fossils
I had to check out this shop when I was in Edinburgh. What a lovely place.
King’s Cross, only better
When I went up to Edinburgh this year for the festival I was really impressed by just how good the new King’s Cross station is. I always remember the station as cramped and unpleasant, and that’s what it was last year when I went up to the festival, but this year it is transformed!
What an improvement.
Nexus + Arduino, first step …
Getting these two finally connected is just the first step! Loads more to do with this as I think it’s going to form the basis of a number of projects for me.
